Almost 25% of American adults are food insecure, a jump of about five percentage points from a year earlier as the double whammy of high inflation and the end of pandemic benefits squeezes more household budgets, according to a new study.
The study, which is based on a survey of almost 8,000 adults in December, found that about 1 in 6 adults relied on charitable food, such as free groceries or meals, last year. By comparison, about 1 in 8 adults relied on food charity in 2019, prior to the pandemic, the study noted.
Adults whose grocery costs increased a lot were about twice as likely as other adults to be food insecure, the study found. These are"folks who feel they are but one emergency away from being able to meet their food needs," she noted.
